FROM HOMETOWN APPETITES BY KELLY ALEXANDER AND CYNTHIA HARRIS

October 2008

Clementine Paddleford obtained this recipe, circa 1951, from Edith Davison, the managing caterer for the Des Moines Women’s Club, who brilliantly combined milk and bread crumbs as a substitute for a labor-intensive white sauce. With any luck, it will be in our repertoire until 2051.
